2006.9.16. Seattle Symphony season opening night concert, conducted by Gerard Schwarz

Rossini: William Tell Overture
Rachmaninoff: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (piano by Lang Lang)
Verdi: Triumphal March and Ballet from Aida
Respighi: The Pines of Rome

All festival tunes. 24 year-old Lang Lang is a great performer, obvious trained to play with a body language. The slow movements were extremely touching. However, the forte part was drowned by the orchestra. Two encores by Lang Lang, and one by the symphony.
